How is Mobile integration and usability with your SAP PM or IBM Maximo?
Have you ever thought about combining the best of two worlds? SAP and IBM MAXIMO, say goodbye to Work Orders or Printed Notes and Excell to have information in real time? It's not a dream, it's technology!
Is your team still printing your Notes or Work Orders and only after the maintenance has been completed does the technician or PCM manually update the system?
Did you know that it is possible to work offline or online?
Integrating Mobile with SAP in the maintenance area can bring a number of benefits to companies. Here are some of them:
Greater efficiency and productivityWith IBM Maximo Mobile, maintenance technicians can access real-time information on assets, work orders and maintenance history, which can increase the efficiency and productivity of the team.
Reduced downtimeBy integrating IBM MAXIMO Mobile with SAP, companies can ensure that technicians have all the information they need to solve maintenance problems on site, reducing downtime and minimizing the costs associated with production stoppages.
Better decision-making: With access to up-to-date and accurate information, maintenance managers can make more precise decisions about planning and resource allocation, ensuring that staff are available where and when they are needed.
Greater regulatory compliance: Integrate Mobile to SAP can help companies maintain compliance with regulations and safety standards by ensuring that maintenance procedures comply with applicable regulations.
Improved user experienceIBM Maximo Mobile is known for its intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, which can improve the user experience and the adoption of the system by maintenance technicians, without the need to memorize keys, paths or commands, all very easy for technicians to worry about their main activities, maintenance!
Better traceabilityIBM Maximo Mobile: Integrating IBM Maximo Mobile with SAP can help companies better track assets and maintenance history, providing accurate and accessible information for audits and reports.
There are some opportunities that PM users often share:
Although SAP is a robust and well-established software platform in many industries, there are some negative points that can affect maintenance areas. Here are some of them:
Complex user interfaceThe SAP user interface can be complex and difficult to use, especially for new or less experienced users. This can increase the learning curve and reduce efficiency when carrying out maintenance tasks.
Difficult to customizeSAP can be difficult to customize, which can limit companies' ability to adapt their maintenance processes and workflows to meet their specific needs.
High costsSAP can be an expensive solution, especially for smaller or growing companies, which can limit access to more advanced maintenance management technologies.
Need for extensive trainingThe complexity of SAP means that maintenance staff may need extensive training to understand how to use the platform effectively. This can increase costs and delay the implementation of a new maintenance management system.
Lack of exclusive focus on maintenanceSAP is an all-in-one platform, which means that it may not provide all the resources and tools needed for effective maintenance management. This can lead to inefficiencies and limitations in the maintenance process.
Anyone who has used SAP and now uses IBM Máximo would say what?
Intuitive user interfaceIBM Maximo has an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, which makes navigation and use much simpler and more efficient.
CustomizationIBM Maximo allows customization to meet the specific needs of each company, with the flexibility to personalize processes and workflows, and adapt to different business requirements.
MobilityIBM Maximo is accessible from any mobile device, allowing maintenance teams to manage service requests and resolve problems anywhere, anytime.
Asset managementIBM Maximo offers a complete set of tools for asset management, enabling preventive maintenance, maintenance planning, service contract management and risk assessment.
Advanced analysisIBM Maximo offers advanced analysis and reporting capabilities, allowing companies to monitor the performance and efficiency of their maintenance processes, identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions.
IntegrationIBM Maximo can be easily integrated with other systems and applications, such as ERP, allowing companies to have a complete view of their business processes.
Cost-effectivenessIBM Maximo offers a much more cost-effective maintenance management solution compared to SAP, with improved efficiency, increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs.
Currently, companies that use IBM Maximo point out that it can help them optimize their maintenance processes, improve efficiency and productivity, as well as reduce costs and increase profitability.
Today there are companies using both tools, some with ERP SAP+ IBM Maximo in its core functionality, now also integrating online agnostic monitoring, prediction and visual inspection. Still others use SAP ERP, the SAP PM module and integrate with IBM Máximo to have the best performance, agility, permeability, information from online sensors being sent to SAP or Maximo, data from mobile integrated with SAP, request for spare parts, leaving mobile and going to SAP or IBM Maximo for validation and then on to the purchase order.
We then have an orchestration of activities taking place in an agile, intelligent, optimized and customized way for companies, because customization within IBM Máximo is simple and efficient.
These are just some of the benefits that integrating IBM MAXIMO Mobile with SAP can bring to companies in the maintenance sector. By integrating the two solutions, companies can get the best of both worlds, taking advantage of the unique functionalities of each platform to optimize their maintenance processes and increase efficiency and profitability.
Studies show that the efficiency improvements using a platform like IBM Maximo in the maintenance area is around 5% of the total cost of the area. If we are conservative and consider only 2% of annual cost reduction, how much would companies save by implementing this system? Many still don't know the answer because they don't have the data, costs and figures easily accessible. We are on the road to Industry 4.0 and the challenge for many is not to implement sensors and prediction! It's to stop printing paper and use Excel to generate and consolidate data and thus make better decisions, bringing efficiency to the area.
